Anonymous Residency Reporting Tip Line
Please use the ANONYMOUS Residency Reporting Tip Line if you believe someone is falsifying their student's address in order to attend Johnstown-Monroe Local Schools.
The Johnstown-Monroe Local School District is making a concerted effort to ensure that students who reside within our District boundaries are not negatively impacted by students who are attending our schools using a fraudulent address.
Families that use false residency information to enroll their students in the Johnstown-Monroe Schools can deprive legitimate residents from resources funded by their taxes and eventually lead to overcrowded classrooms and strained facilities. The property tax dollars that are generated to help pay to educate these students are being directed to the school district where they reside.
We routinely examine all forms of residency verification very carefully and investigate reports of residency fraud. In cases where it is determined a student has been enrolled in the Johnstown-Monroe Local School District fraudulently, the district reserves the right to pursue any and all available legal remedies to collect the cost of tuition for the time the student was fraudulently enrolled.
When calling the tip line please speak slowly and clearly, leaving as much information as you can to help us verify the student's status. As an example, the following information is very helpful:
- Student's or Family's name (if known)
- The address in question (very important)
- School Student is attending
- Where you believe the student actually lives
- How you learned of student's non-district address. For example:
- The student may have told you
- You witness children being dropped off in the neighborhood
- You know the children do not live at an address full time
- You may have driven the student home after school or from a school event
- You may have visited the student at home.
